We are talking about AC in the cord, not DC, right? (this would be different for the DC charge port). The car is not capable of generating any AC (unless its a V2G car, which already has tons of complicated electronics to prevent this). So, it's still only a cord energized by grid voltage. So it's not any different on an EV situation than on an RV situation, it seems to me. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
